Howdy Everyone,
We are getting an elliptical water tank for our makeup system in our plant water system. We plan to use an ultrasonic reflective sensor for the level that uses a 4-20ma signal with a converter to go to the IO link balluff block we have available to go back to the plc. My question is short of making a data table with the levels and calculating the level to inches is there another way of doing this? with it being a round tank on its side obviously an inch of level at the bottom or top of the tank is not the same as an inch at the middle of the tank. We have used a scale with parameters before but that was a linear scale and this wouldn't be. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
